The suspects have further been directed to deposit their travel documents with the courts before being released.

Public Service PS Lillian Omollo, NYS director Ndubai and Ngirita family members were each granted Sh1million cash bail with the option of Sh5 million bond or a Sh2million surety.

Chief Magistrate Douglas Ogoti had initially ruled that the suspects should remain in custody for the entire duration of the trial, saying corruption suspects did not deserve the right of access to bail.

Ogoti's ruling prompted the suspects to move to the High Court to appeal the decision.
